THE SYRIAN CIVIL WAR
The SYRIAN CIVIL WAR is an ongoing multi-sided armed conflict with international interventions taking place in Syria. The unrest began in the early spring of 2011 the Arab Spring protests, with nationwide protests against President Bashar al-Assad's government, whose forces responded with violent crackdowns. The conflict gradually morphed from mass protests to an armed rebellion after months of military sieges. A United Nations report released in December, 2012, stated that the conflict had "become overtly sectarian in nature", between Alawite–dominated government forces, militias and other Shia groups fighting primarily against Sunni-dominated rebel groups; however both opposition and government forces denied that.
IMPACT OF WAR ON SOCIETY
The Syrian Civil War has devastated Syria and its people. The death toll is not easily confirmed, but the deadliest single day of the Syrian Civil War was estimated to have seen 397 Syrians killed. Overall, the death toll sits somewhere around 50,000 casualties. Considering Syrians small population, the death toll is a huge blow to the nation. The remaining Syrians have lost all faith in their country, and many of them have fled to neighboring countries to find safety.
